Abstract
Processes and systems described herein enable a computing device to detect compromised accounts. The computing device may obtain a user credential including a user ID, and further modify the user ID. The computing device may transmit the modified user ID to a service including a database related to compromised accounts, receive a record corresponding to the modified user ID that includes information of a compromised account, and further determine whether an account of the user ID is compromised based on the received record.
